I don’t know if it is really still true, but on Mirage raceway some folks were telling they are still seeing flames and that dragon burning the zones.
If it is true, then my question to blizzard: Is it just ignorance level being so high that you don’t even want to accomodate the game accordingly to the story/make it how you did back then? After Dragon soul release and someone killing deathwing there, he should be gone for good from burning the world, but seems to be that blizzard messed up again, if these reports are true. I doubt that there were no guilds able to defeat Deathwing in DS on Mirage raceway to this point of time after release.
Anyways I would like to hear from your experience as well, maybe it is just a fluke or it is still how the game is

deathwing isnt dead during hour of twilight patch. he is considered dead after the patch ends. lorewise he ll disappear when mop prepatch goes live
that is really disappointing then, but maybe it was back in the day as well. I thought always that deathwing shenanigans belong to the prepatch and only there, seems that cata will go in junk bucket for me, and I need to wait all the way until mop to not be at mercy of rng gods while leveling in open world.
I would accept even that we should have wait nuntil HoT patch and until someone actually defeats deathwing on the server. This would be actually most logical by lore, you kill deathwing he can no longer take on his flight in the skies. Even blizzard themselves seem to be failed to provide correct lore to this, if they ending deathwing flight over zones only after mop prepatch hit, even though he is technically defeated on the first day of the patch.
Speaking further about stuff like deathwing event and other similar stuff which usually belong to the prepatch, I never understood why blizzard kept scourge invasion to prepatch for example but this thing alongside with achievement is available all until the next expansion. I know I am in minority for this, but I am against such events which impact your gameplay being constant thing during expansion, like for example we had scourge invasion in wrath, which was kept only in prepatch thankfully. Now I am kinda forced to just sit in SW/Org and queue for dungeons non stop to avoid deathwing while leveling up, though I really enjoy new revamped leveling experience, but I don’t like to be randomly ganked by deathwing
i dont think deathwing is that big of a deal. its not like he is harassing you constantly. you might die from him once every other night and then leveling is over and you dont deal with him anymore. and if you notice him early you can fly and avoid him, wait it out 5 mins till you go to the bathroom, grab some water and you are back at it

it’s likely not all npcs have the same respawn timer but it can delay you up to 10 minutes if you are questing, you are about to turn in. and the npc dies before you can interact, it happened to me in the barrens, he also killed me multiple times on 4 of my 6 chars.
even on max level, landing on a flight point to just die? it’s just plain stupid
I am sure that Deathwing, the Destroyer, is very apologetic for the inconvenience of your burnt rump as he goes about his job of destroying the world. If you’d asked him politely to come back another day, he’d delay annihilating your levelling zone.
For God’s sake, man, this is Deathwing, the Destroyer! It’s what he does.
That said, Blizzard did neglect to put an end to this event after the first raid kill. Shoddy, negligent and shoddy.

What about the fact, that after Spine raid released, deathwing should no longer exist being still alive, he should be gone, since he was defeated
As of a couple of days ago, I can confirm Deathwing still burns the world.
I was doing the 365 cloak chain quest on an alt. During the first part of the quest in Uldum, I was just about done with filling the bar, then out of nowhere I got oneshot by Deathwings flames and I had to start over. Had to wait like 10 mins before I could start again though, and then when I filled the bar a second time, it somehow bugged out and restarted without giving me quest completion. I abandoned the quest, picked it up at the npc again and then fill it a third time before I could move on to the second part in Vashj’ir. Just a little bit tilting having your time wasted like that.
Don’t know if intended or not.
if blizzard decides to do something about it then it would make things only worse.
Where the next discussion is going to be all about why blizzard puts effort into something like this few months before the expansion ends while there are More serious issues in the game they want them to work on.
Letting deathwing keep burning down the world is less destructive then a frustrated community telling blizzard they lost their priorities to put their limited resources into
The Developer team has abandoned Cataclysm to put everything into Mists of pandaria.
all the issues players are calling out to Blizzard is being ignored completely cause they know that they cannot put people on it to fix it.
And if they respond then they would either have to apologize or making false promises.
so dont expect anything from them untill Mists of pandaria with posts about Fixes and polishing of the Minor things the players are dealing with nearly every day playing the game
that’s why I will just wait for mop and then start from where with leveling again, for now ,don’t feel like doing it, even for DS which is kinda not much excitement for me
